OMG!!! This whole week are full of reminiscing. I should say that my childhood days are the best memories that I could remember until I die. My friends said that I have a good memory... I have to thanked all of my diaries. I have 6 of them. I started writing in Grade 6 and skip the first year high school, continue on my 2nd year high school and until 6 years ago before I started blogging.

Anyways, the topic was DANCE STEPS. I was looking for Howgee song by Black Machine and I stumbled on this YouTube video.



I was like OMG!!! I know those steps!!! I began to dance dance. It is a nice exercise.. promise. and then I found this song.... PIZZICATO FIVE!!! Until now I know the dance steps IN FULL!!! NO KIDDING. I JUST DID 2 HOURS AGO!!!

During our discussion in my barkada's facebook, we revealed what we like the most during those years and one of them is watching TGIS - starring Bobby, Angelu, Onemig, Michael, Raven,Red,Rica and Ciara.



FYI lang muna: Did you know that Red Sternberg is my high school Alumni? Yep! Red, his older brother and his step sister (my batchmate). Yeah and I also got an autograph from him. Oo! talagang nilapitan ko sya nuon to ask an autograph and then 2 years ago, I saw him at Convergys, Alabang.

I believed that I started TGIS from its first episode but then I didn't give importance to it and all of the sudden, the whole barkada was watching it every Saturday. This group has given our group lessons about friendship. Thanks to you guys. We even watched their movie as a group. Of course, I love the song (do you know how to dance it? LOL!!! Because I know)



The most unforgettable memory on TGIS when Wacks finally admitted his true feeling for Peachy on the movie and they continued the love story on TV. That was the time when "It Might Be You" became hit over the radio stations.

How come we called ourselves Crazy 8 Barkada? Actually long story kasi bata pa kami nun. LOL! Joke! Sa totoo lang mahaba naman talaga. Maliliit pa kami, magfriends na kami. Sila ang mga friends ko sa street namin - Montemar Street. Kami nuon ang sigain sa street kasi kami ang pangalawa sa pinakamatanda dito sa street. Yung una, yung mga kuya namin - ang aking Kuya Roman, Irish's brother - Kuya Tan, at ang friend nila - si Kuya Al. Sa una 2 group kami - Ang group na LRT (Laarni, Rein, Tin) at ang group ng TALIA (Trish, Amor, Lily, Irish, Annie). Inis kami sa LRT kasi ang kukulit ng mga bata LOL. Sila ang group na mahilig magsuot ng alpombra (isang uri na tsinelas). Tapos, out of nowhere, nagbati na rin kami. We are all fans of Sweet Valley books at nagtayo kami ng sariling naming "Unicorn Club" pero di purple ang official color namin kungdi PUTI. Dapat magsuot ng kahit isang "puti" sa katawan namin everyday or else, manlilibre ka ng ICE CANDY. Kaskas Tsinelas ang tawag sa amin dahil ang iingay namin maglakad. Laging pudpod ang aming mga tsinelas dahil kinakaskas namin ito habang naglalakad. Mahilig kami maglaro ng Crazy 8 nuon (isang uri ng card game). Naisipan namin na perfect ang name na ito sa amin at saktong 8 na loka-loka ang mga tao nasa group na ito... Lol joke! Mababait po kami.

Marami naging contribution ang barkada namin sa aming community. Lagi kaming sumasali sa palaro tuwing Children's Christmas party. Kami ang barkada na may handang intermission number sa Christmas Party at Fiesta. Nagcontribute kami ng maliit na halaga sa aming community chapel by means of thinking of a small summer job such as car wash and collecting newspapers, and bottles. Other amount went to our summer swimming outing.

Ngayon, may kanya kanya na kaming buhay at trabaho at salamat sa facebook (at kay Trish who made a group account of our barkada), kahit malayo kami sa isa't isa, I feel at home seeing those pictures up in our group account.

Code Names:

Amor - aka Jessica Wakefield - The Taray queen
Trish - aka Elizabeth Wakefield - The Bridge of the Barkada
Lily and Annie - The CHAO Sisters - Lily The Loner,  Annie - Sungit Queen
Irish - The unica hija (mahigpit ang parents kasi)
Laarni Mae - The Tomboyish
Rein - The Flirt
Tin - The Black Beauty

Here are just few of the photos:

So ganun nga, naiwan kaming 2 na web author/team leader. Sa totoo lang dapat kaming nasa mataas na position di na gumagawa ng web authoring at iba pang web development work. Wala na sa job description yan namin. Ako bilang isang project manager dapat panay status reports, client communication, at reports para kay boss ang ginagawa ko. Ngunit dahil sa sobrang kulang kami sa tao, di ko magampanan ang work ko ng maayos dahil may iba akong ginagawa. Nasa isang team kami, nagtutulungan na nga kaming 2 team leaders kung paano namin mapaprioritize ang mga nakalistang projects tapos nasisingitan pa ng mga changes sa mga natapos na websites.

Nakakaloka kung iisipin. Ibis tapos na, nabobrought up ulit at nadadagdagan sa listahan ng criticals at urgents. Maskawawa ang kasama ko dahil panggabi sya at umaabot ng 4pm ang trabaho at eto pa ang isa, di kataasan ang kanyang sweldo. Nagrereklamo nga sakin dahil panay pangako napapako naman. Eto worst, nagkasakit na ang tao dahil sa bugbog na pagtatrabaho.

Ako feeling ko gusto ko na tumalon sa isang mataas na building. Sabi nga ng kasama ko "Aray, bugbog na tayo". Di ko maintindihan ang nararamdaman ko. Naiiyak ako sa inis. Gusto kong sumigaw pero di ko magawa (baka sabihan pa ako ng mga kapitbahay ko na naloloka na ako). I can't wait for another Saturday!!

Alam kong di dapat magreklamo sa work. Dito kami bumubuhay.... pero ano ba talaga kuya!!!!!!!!!  

My friend went to his hometown and I left on the messenger alone :( I'm used to talk to him everyday and it's like that I have a missing piece. Texting is no use. He's not replying back (although he was replying but only 2x or 3x), but I hope that he had a great time with his vacation/work holiday.

I went to Robinson's Place Ermita to claim my free hat at The White Hat and again, I have a nice yogurt-eating time but doing it alone was no fun at all. I'm sitting alone in the table and no one to talk with so I have thought to have a little shopping spree just to forget the loneliness for a while. I spend 30 minutes looking for Kamiseta or Kashieca and I almost lost around Robinson's Place and I decided to go Robinson's Department Store instead. 20 minutes for picking for a new dress and since I don't have much money along with me, I just bought one. Almost 1 hour spend just for one dress, darn it! I hurried up to go and catch a bus at Buendia, and had a good travel sleep.

Yesterday, I treat my mom to watched "My Only U". It was a funny movie yet touching. I got a tear-eye in some scenes. I wanted to burst into tears, but I was holding back - blinking my eyes as my sign of holding back the tears.

Life is so short. We don't know when will our life be ended. What if the days are already counting for you and you haven't said your true feelings for your special someone. Or although you have said it but you have to leave her/him sooner. It's painful to have regrets and it's more painful to leave someone you love. 

Thanks to The White Hat for giving me a free hat!!!

Sa dami ng friends ko (real life), kung bakit may mga kaibigan ako na sadyang hinahadlangan ang aking kaligayahan. Dapat na lang ba sila ang laging tama? Wala na ba akong karapatang upang lumigaya?

Alam kong care lang ang friend ko sa akin. Nagpapasalamat ako sa Panginoon na may friend akong nagmamalasakit pero sakal na rin ako sa mga pangaral niyang paulit ulit na lang. Alam kong may mga desisyon ako na ang laging iniisip ko na lang ang sarili ko pero ano man ang magiging kahihitnatnan ng aking desisyon, maging maganda man o pangit, magiging resulta ng ngiti o iyak, handa naman ako. Kahit sabihin niyang balang araw iba ang dating at masasaktan ako, taking risk lang naman ito. Maramdaman ko man ulit ang saya na matagal ko ng gustong maramdaman.

Sa ngayon hindi kami gaanong naguusap pagkatapos ng isang pagtatalo, pero isa lang talaga ang masasabi ko, Maraming salamat sa pagaalala at mahal kita kaibigan. Alam ko na parati kang nandyan nakaalalay sakin. Nagpapasalamat talaga ako sa Panginoon na ikaw ang naging kaibigan ko. Pero sana naman ay maintindihan mo naman ako at bigyan mo naman ako ng suporta sa aking nararamdamang kaligayahan.

Nagpapasalamat ako sa mga iba kong kaibigan na may tiwala at nirerespeto ang aking kaligayahan at aking desisyon.

Thank God after 2 weeks of craziness at work, finally, I have gotten myself out off my "prison cell" (my bedroom)

For quite sometimes, I want to spend my money for food. I want to treat myself to eat somewhere else. Good food with a good ambiance. I just love it. I love food. It's really in my family's blood. My ancestry (Cantonese) loves to cook food. We love to eat (look at us physically...LOL kidding). We love to experiment food for home based. My father is a good cook and I... do I? LOL.

Dining in a fine restaurant, of course I have to look good! I am no fashionista (I'm a late bloomer actually) so wearing my new blue (TAKE NOTE: NOT PURPLE) dress and my new Havaianas (Yes! Did you see that? I used it!!!), I met with Mike and his friend, Ryan for one night fine dine-in at FRIDAYS, Alabang Town Center.

That's me... SURPRISED!!! SHORT HAIR! Due to the intense heat lately, I can't no longer take it. I missed short hair. I have it when I was in highschool and college. What I like in a short hair, just brush with your fingers and flip!

We are in the smoking section. Yeah, my friend likes it in there... can you just quit smoking? Anyways, I love their bar. It's nice especially with a nice good looking bartender ;-)

The hardest part is the ordering. I know FRIDAYS is kinda expensive but I have saved money for this occassion. I and Ryan took longer in deciding what to eat.

Ate Glamour, I really missed our Fridays tripping. I ordered this Filipino style grilled liempo (as usual) - Ate, wala nang Chicken Barbecue *sniff sniff*

Hmmmm.. sooo yummy!

I know that this will be the MOST SHAMELESS plug that you've ever seen. Did you see the behind the scene photos below of this entry now you are going to see the whole EDITED video as our submission in XFN Worldwide Fan Project

Where we are from...



Where we are from... it's always 1013

But the next video that you are going to see is my proudest work of art. Actually this is the 2nd time around to make a video out of this song, but I deleted the first one because it was really not a good video to see. I finally got a version of Movie Maker with the transitions! Mike has already seen this video and I'm glad that he likes it.

Song: I Fall So Deep
Sang by: Gary Barlow
Game: Ragnarok Online
Clip made by: LuvAyumi - the Sniper
My Family: Asclepius (the priest), our baby - Jhunalyn

ABS-CBN has announced that they are going to release WHY WHY LOVE (Huan Huan Ai) after ISWAK 2: They Kiss Again. YAY!!! I love this Taiwan series and again Rainie Yang, King One and Mike He are the stars on that series.. NOTE: This is NOT the part 2 of Devil Beside You.

While I was roaming around the YouTube, and I found this. A new Taiwan series with Ariel Lin and Joe Cheng. It's only a few months since They Kiss Again and now they have a new drama title "Wo De Yi Wan Mian Bao" (Love or Bread). This time Ariel Lin's character is not annoying as Xiang Qin of ISWAK and TKA. I think she's portraying a mature role here. I JUST CAN'T WAIT.

OMG!!!! I'm gonna love it!!!

Last Saturday, we went to 3 famous places around Manila to be featured in the X-FilesNews.Com Worldwide Fan Project. We went very early in Luneta Park to shoot our first part of our video.
